Altum Sequencing is a precision oncology company that develops liquid biopsy tests to guide cancer therapy and monitor measurable residual disease through ultra-sensitive analysis of circulating tumour DNA. Its next-generation sequencing assays, DxPanels, TRACKseq, EVOseq and DUALseq, cover baseline profiling, residual disease tracking, resistance detection and monitoring of cell-based therapies. It serves hospitals, pharmaceutical companies and clinical research organisations. The company was founded in Madrid in 2019 by haematologists and oncologists from Hospital 12 de Octubre and is based in Leganés. It holds ISO 15189 accreditation and had analysed more than 6,000 clinical and research samples by 2024. It is backed by Ship2B's S2B Health&Care programme and has received public funding through CDTI NEOTEC and an ENISA participative loan. In 2026 it was the overall winner of Alhambra Venture and won Best Product at The Ventures Spain.
